| Activity Title: Towers
Workshop – The Oxford Trust |
| |
Pupils work in teams to build strong structures
from tubes made from scrap A4 paper joined together with
nuts and bolts. The challenge requires pupils to design
and construct their tower, as well as allocating different
tasks to members of their team. There is a second activity
for the teams, which puts maths into a problem-solving
context. |
